EL CAPO European Affairs Satirissimo This edition's featured sites:   A naustalgic review of former years when the European Union benefitted from a real Forca Italia - Two Italian Presidents, one for the Council and one for the Commission !! - Europe should be so lucky?

Silvio Berlusconi Europe was blessed with a President, the Italian Prime Minister, a man we think who was trying, he is a successful businessman and good looking too, or so he tells us. And who is going to argue? For some reason, people are amused by Mr. Berlusconi because he says he doesn't trust Italian judges, but then can you name anyone who does trust an Italian judge? But Mr. Berlusconi knows what he was talking about because a court recently found that he had managed to bribe two Italian judges with in excess of 200,000 Euro. He said that El Duce didn't kill anyone. That is absolutely true. He had an effective administration which arranged for others to do the killing. So maybe Silvio Berlusconi was misunderstood. Surely people realise how sincere he was, look at that face in the photo above. He faced and solved many logistic challenges as President of the Council of Ministers of Europe, like chosing and transporting nice furniture and pictures for his office in Brussels, all the way from Italy. His greatest challenge was putting up with the quality of people in the Commission, like Romano Prodi, for example. This Prodi guy, was "mui complicado". He apparently spent a lot of time just "talking", about spirituality, God, Europe and freedom but did not seem to care about neo-Nazi freaks who are cruel to children, or at least he did not respond to important and urgent letters and emails on this topic. At least Berlusconi was a bit more straight forward, you could see right through him. In Europe, that is what we mean by transparency.

It's no joke More info? Click image Romano Prodi Under the Commission presidency of Romano Prodi, there was a massive cover-up in the Enlargement section under Commissioner Gunter Verheugen. The Commission failed to carry out its mandate to terminate a government-sponsored atrocity of neo-Nazi special schools run by Central European governments. As a result this brutalization of the futures of over 150,000 little European children by segregating them and denying them education, continues. This is a serious breach of European law. Prodi and Verheugen never answered communications on this topic and failed to act in a classic example of maladministration. All is well, that ends well - in 3 Acts Act 1: Gunter Verheugen, Commissioner responsible for enlargement enters from left. Romano Prodi, Commission President enters from right reading a document.... "Geez Gunter watsa dis? Dis report by da Committee on Romani Emancipation sez weez ignoring neo-Nazi special schools in Central Europe! Geez, what's dat? 150,000 Roma kids slammed up in deez "Special Schools" an no educashun? But da management gets Euro 1,750 for each kid each year, well that aint too bad! .... Mmm, you know, dis is kinda bad timing .. sort of bad for business! ... deres all deez elections coming up and enlargement and all!!" Act 2: Gunter Verhuegen realises his cover up has been blown. He fears this might lead to his being sacked for maladministration and misrepresentation of the facts. He sobs uncontrollably. Romano Prodi steps forwards: "Now come come now dont cry like dat! It upsets me ta see yah like dis! You donna have to feel so guilty. I knows you donna wanna no trouble an you donna think itsa helpful to talk about deez things .. Look, I'm a straight guy, I poisinally think all o dis racist crap kinda crazy, sorry to say dis, Gunter, but you know that our great El Duce thought that Hilter guy was completely nuts on dis race hate stuff !?? But den I understand ... dis is Europe an we all in dis mess togetha .. donna rock da boat .. it is all about image ... huh? You see I do understand!!" Act 3: Romano Prodi steps forward and holds Gunter Verheugen to re-assure him: "OK Gunter, my good friend. So we do a deal!! We both say we donna know nuttin about no report, letters, e-mails and we never hoid of no Roma Committee mmmm your staff never told us!! .. OK?. ..But den here's da real deal!! I forget your stuff in Central Europe, OK? I never knew nuttin about it !! .. and you forget all my stuff in umm, well you know, or, oh well, beein you maybe yah dont, umm, look I'll send you a list !! .. an whatever I send you, den you no nuttin about it no more .. cappicho!!?? Anda, dat way we are quits and I keep to be El Presidente an I make sure you become a Commissioner in the next Commission ...OK!! Hey Gunter yah gotta nice smile on ya face!!
